Media Shift Signals Growing Democrat Discontent With Biden
Today marks a significant moment in President Joe Biden’s tenure as mainstream media outlets begin to distance themselves from his reelection campaign. This pivot is creating a pathway for Democrats to consider alternatives to Biden as their 2024 candidate.
ABC World News Tonight highlighted this shift with anchor Whit Johnson reporting on increasing Democratic pressure for Biden to step aside. Johnson mentioned Biden’s recent appearance at the Emergency Operations Center in Washington, D.C., where he discussed Hurricane Beryl and climate change. However, the focus quickly turned to the growing calls for Biden to withdraw from the race following his poor debate performance.
ABC featured interviews with former Clinton aide George Stephanopoulos and Members of Congress expressing their concerns about Biden’s cognitive abilities. CBS covered a tense exchange between White House correspondent Weijia Jiang and Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, while NBC broke the news that Hunter Biden is now advising his father in the West Wing, further complicating the administration’s image.
In the coming days, expect more stories from insiders discussing Biden’s cognitive decline. These narratives will build up to a likely announcement of Biden’s withdrawal from the campaign and possibly the presidency. This gradual shift aims to justify that if Biden is unfit to campaign due to health concerns, he may also be unfit to serve as president.
Mainstream media, after years of shielding Biden, are now setting the stage for a new leadership direction within the Democratic Party. This strategic move ensures their continued influence and access to power.
